You need a reason to fight the good fight. In video games, some of the best antagonists have been female perpetrators.
One of the most memorable fights I ever played. I almost didn't want to pull the trigger at the end.
Final Fantasy 16 is taking the series in a new direction, but it still appears to be taking some effective inspiration from past games.
I liked it a lot, I will not compare it with other final fantasy, But I hadn't felt that emotion for a long time playing since the final fantasy vll remake, it lacks some things, it's not my goty, but it deserves a place in my heart, with that I say everything.
Hironobu Sakaguchi loves Final Fantasy XIV and recently he's been using its creative features to pay homage to Final Fantasy IX.
Why does the article have to single this out as being a Switch port rather than just the port in general? It’s like the author specifically forgot this also released on Xbox One the same day just to talk about some flaws that only happened because the game is on Switch rather than just how the port in general operates.
The battle UI will most certainly get upgraded to something more pleasant like it quickly did with the PS4 version.
This makes it sound like it's the Switch's fault. All of these issues were present in the PS4 version when I played it and are presumably in the Xbox version too. The music bug and the fact that they mapped digital movement to the analog stick shows that this was just a lazy port to begin with. The PSone Classics version on PS3 and PSP is the better way to play it if you don't mind the long load times of the original.
Title is misleading. The author mentions some problems that seem not only nitpicky, but not exclusive to the Switch in general. Nothing was mentioned regarding terrible performance, glitchy graphics, or if it’s unplayable, which makes me assume the port itself is fine. It’s just minor bugs, or outdated UI, with the sole offender being digital controls mapped to the analog stick.
Those little things shouldn’t make porting FF to Switch a bad idea.
Well I have the same port I recently got on my ps4. Never played it before so I am enjoying it. Ignorance is bliss I suppose. The biggest grief should be the price. Though I never played this, but played 7 I bought this. 7 is 15 this was like 20 something....
This article is misleading. They have a screenshot of the UI, but that's the old one, the one from when they released the game two years ago. The new one is definitely much better, even if not perfect. Less space between names, smaller battle commands menu. More refined in general. Also, it isn't Switch fault if this port is not good enough, that's on Square Enix. Switch is more than capable to offer much more than this low effort by Square Enix.
